Joseph Haydn gave lessons in singing, keyboard instruments, theory and composition throughout his life. His pupils included Ignaz Pleyel, Sigismund Neukomm and the Pole Franciszek (Franz) Lessel. The latter received the autograph score of his Symphony No. 56 from 1774 from his teacher in October 1805. This symphony forms a pair with Symphony No. 55, known as "The Schoolmaster", which dates from the same year. Both are included in this eighteenth volume of the Haydn2032 series, together with Symphony No. 29 (1765), "whose Presto finale sounds as if a swarm of naughty children had just escaped from a strict teacher", writes Christian Moritz-Bauer. Giovanni Antonini and the Basel Chamber Orchestra also recorded the finale of Lessel's Fifth Symphony in G minor, the only movement to have survived from his entire orchestral oeuvre, which comprises five other symphonies.
